Original text and translations
Latin text
Pax ergo vestras circum circa ambiat aedes
o sponsi & rixas arceat inde procul.
Suaviter ut socio vivit cum turture turtur,
vivatis placidos et sine lite dies.
English translation
by Mick Swithinbank
Peace therefore be all around your house,
you partners to the match, and may it keep discord far from there.
Just as the turtledove dwells affectionately with its mate,
so may you live out your days in happy intimacy, free from quarrels.
